...wallpaper, No. 10 Downing Street is still home to Gladys Mary Wilson, 48. The new P.M.'s wife has moved in her washing machine and drying rack ("I couldn't quite see myself hanging out the washing") and dismissed the cook, being a whiz herself at smoked haddock, custard, and those parched tea dainties known hopefully by the British as "little fairy cakes."

Both have produced fascinating documents and useful items for those who like to plot the course of British society now that the imperial ballast is gone, and the old class compass is out of whack. Both work in the theater; Delaney's A Taste of Honey was a hit play...
